About this property

Bend Bungalow - a Walk in the Park to Downtown and River!

Use the Bend Bungalow as your home base as you explore and taste all Bend has to offer. We welcome you.

Looking for a special get-away vacation... you just found the right place! The Bend Bungalow is your delightful alternative to staying in a hotel, and for less money! Nestled in the desirable NorthWest neighborhood, this charming vacation rental cottage offers the quintessential Bend experience. You will love staying at the Bend Bungalow. . . fully stocked down to the wine bottle opener!

The bungalow has artistic décor and a clean yet homey feeling. Original hardwood floors, new windows, sustainable bamboo flooring in the kitchen and bonus room, warm and inviting colors all create the perfect place to relax after your busy days. The home is well-maintained and spotlessly cleaned with green products.

Two bedrooms have queen size beds each (one is a Tempurpedic style memory bed great for your back!). The bonus room has a twin day bed. The bathroom has a bathtub/shower. A single-car garage can be accessed from the ally with additional storage (lockable) for your skis or kayaks or bikes. A covered patio offers a perfect BBQ retreat. * *Please note that the garage cannot fit oversized cars/trucks and you will have to park on NW 6th Street where there is plenty of parking. Never block the ally.

Experience the great location of the Bend Bungalow! Whether taking advantage the close proximity to the Deschutes River, Mt. Bachelor or just wanting to explore the shops and restaurants of Bend, this location is close to the slopes (on the mountain in 30 minutes!) or a lovely walk across the river.

Neighborhood gourmet food market 'Newport Market', coffee houses, restaurants, frozen yogurt and shops are within three blocks of home. Old town shops and our family’s favorite, the Deschutes Brewery, is a six minute walk down the street and across the river. Children will love the 'boat park' one block away where there is also a ballpark and the walking bridge to Drake Park.

Don’t bother with driving and parking: Both the 4th of July and Christmas Parades start right in front of the cottage! Enjoy the three-minute walk to the summer time popular 'Munch-n-Music' with free concerts and movies at Drake Park and food from local restaurants.

Come be our guests and enjoy!

LOCATION!

We were able to walk to the park and food. We took e-bikes to Hayden for the concert. We had a blast. Bed and pillows were comfy. I didn't realize there was a covered patio which was nice and private. I would stay here again.

Great Location in Bend

The home is well situated in a nice walkable neighborhood, had all of the essentials for the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Comfortable beds. Keys, garage door opener, etc. The fenced yard was a bit grungy and this is an old house with bathroom sink water not flowing enough, water takes a long time to get hot except in the shower. We enjoyed our stay and were not in the house much except for the mornings for coffee & quick breakfast. Nice safe neighborhood near everything. If you are there to enjoy the house itself, you may be disappointed.

It was really sweet to stay in a vintage cottage on a lovely street. It really brought back memories of our childhood homes and it was refurbished artfully and with vintage items. I highly recommend it!

Great little house / Awesome Location

Our family stayed here for a month and had a wonderful stay! The house is a little dated (which was no surprise), but it served as a perfect "basecamp" to enjoy Bend and nearby nature. This is a cozy house perfect for a small family and the fenced in yard made it easy to bring our dog. We loved the proximity to countless parks, breweries, and trails. I would definitely recommend this house for a weekend getaway or extended stay.

Some friends and I spent the weekend in Bend to attend the AWESOME Bend Film Festival. We loved this little house that is within walking distance of Drake Park and downtown. The house was super clean, comfy beds. It's a great way to enjoy Bend at any time of year!

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Painter

Host profile image
We are Oregon residents who love the outdoors, be it the mountains, rivers or coastal areas. We love to travel the world and have fell in love with Bend, which reminds us of time we spent in Taos, New Mexico. The high desert sun, smell of the sage and pine, the Deschutes River, surrounding lakes, and mountains all make Bend a wonderful place to get outdoors. Though we have to admit, the many good restaurants and breweries have us staying close to our home-away-from-home for an easy walk to dinner or a drink with friends.

Our children love being close to the park, Goodie's (ice cream parlor), Cravin's Candy Emporium and a short walk to home after a float down the river.

We hope you will enjoy Bend and the surrounding area as much as we do.
Cheers! - Lesley & Daniel, Portland, OR
